Sun 10:30 PM - 11:45 PM UTCFeb 16, 10:30 PM - 11:45 PM UTC

Quick 10-15 minute Review of last class;
﻿
First, we will talk about the 6 types of exception that will be need to be known for the test. Next, we will talk about Control Structures and how everyone of these structures work (take caution with the dangling else). Hit a bit on Flow and UML charts. If we have time we will start talking about methods, but we won't deep dive into that so far.
﻿
End the session with a mini test I developed!
